From getting a quote through to finish, I could not fault Southside Windows. The workmanship of David, who fitted the window down to the installation end result, was excellent and we are delighted with the whole job. No issues whatsoever.

We initially had Russell come out to quote for four new windows. He was punctual and very friendly. No hard-selling techniques. On the day, we had David, Craig and Ian install the windows. The three guys arrived on time, all took the time to introduce themselves and have a chat. Dust sheets were placed over the flooring and furniture. After completing the job, they tidied up, removed and rubbish and gave the floors a hoover. Overall excellent service, and would happily recommend them to anyone.

Super happy with our new windows, excellent service from Southside windows. Russell advised we only needed new bedroom windows and the rest of the windows in the house were fine. No hard sell. Fitters arrived on time did a great job, worked well on an extremely hot day and tidied up afterwards. Would not hesitate to recommend Southside windows.

Thinking of getting new windows and doors and contacted Southside Windows as I read all the reviews and also having been recommended by Which really appealed. Appointment made for today at 9.30. Russell arrived at 9.25am was out the door by 9.50 am. True to his word that he wouldn't be here for hours. Super impressed as, it turns out, we’re not needing new windows. Had another company out telling us we did and would cost £20,000 but if agreed on the same day, would be £16,000. We have decided to get a new front door and replace the glass on the hall window. Would have no hesitation in recommending Southside Windows if you’re thinking about it! So refreshing to have someone so honest and not trying to rip you off. Thankyou Russell.

I had double-glazing fitted and was pleased with this company. Jackie in the office was very polite and courteous, and kept me up to date with everything concerning the fitters. They completed the job punctually and cleaned up after themselves. I would recommend this company

We had our windows fitted sometime ago so this review will reflect the orginial fitting experience, time past and recent customer service review. I was there the day the windows were fitted and asked the fitter why no foam insulation was used in large gaps between brick and windows and he said air gap would insulate enough, later winter experiences proved him wrong, severe heat loss during winter. When fitting the downstairs baywindow that fitter did not use a prop instead a bit of wood to support our bay roof, they had to refit that external aspect one week later as the roof was now lopsided and looked rediculous outside. This proved an issue later as we had to repair a leaking bay roof due to the shifting of the structure during this fitting. Time has passed and each winter the poorly insulated gap across all windows show severe heat loss and now the front baywindow has come away from the wooden sill. I contacted them asking for a health check and they said they did not provide that service to which I asked about insulation policy and they said yes it was their policy to insulate gaps with foam which they did not do during original fitting. Long story short the actual window frames fabricated are excellent our issue was always the fitting which was incredibly poor. We will now be videoing a review this winter for Youtube, carrying out a thermal test before and after foam insulation of these windows, testing Southside Windows air gap hypothesis.

The trader replied (on 24/06/2025)
This job was installed approximately 10 years ago with no complaints over the last 10 years. You initially contacted us to enquire about a free health check on your existing windows and indicated they were installed a few years ago, which was misleading. We advised you that unfortunately this was not a service that we offered, however if you sent us over some more information we can advise and assist you as best we can, we also noted that we had looked up our records and your quote was from 2015 so you were likely out with guarantee but we would still assist. You then sent over images of a gap between your wooden mahogany sill and window. We explained that wood is a natural product and it can be susceptible to shrinkage due to moisture and temperature changes within the home, and this is perfectly normal after 10 years. We advised that we could assist you with this however, it would be chargeable due to you being out of the guarantee period. Upon mention of a cost, you expressed your disappointment and your manner changed and became very condescending. The narrative then became that the job was not installed correctly at the time. It doesn’t seem logical to complain about that 10 years after installation and not to complain about it at the time. Russell, the owner, offered to visit your property on several occasions to discuss your concerns. You were unwilling for Russell to attend “unless” we intended to correct what you deemed to be issues without charge, then there was “no point” and you proceeded to leave this negative review. This is an unwarranted review due to us not completing the work you felt entitled to free of charge 10 years later, with no complaints. This situation serves as a clear example of how online reviews and social media can be leveraged in an attempt to harm a business’s reputation. By your own admission, you intend to produce a YouTube video in a further effort to publicly criticise our company. It is not difficult to distinguish between genuine customer feedback and reviews driven by malice. We are a long-established, family-run business with over 27 years of experience, and our commitment to high-quality service is reflected in the 300+ positive reviews we have received.

The quality of the windows is great - they are really into keeping with the traditional frames, and the job was quick. They are a lovely company to work with and put my mind at ease over what would otherwise have been a stressful purchase.

From first visit I could tell I was dealing with a first class company, no hard sell, got quote quickly, was kept up to date with proceedings from them. The fitters arrived on said day and time, and their workmanship was excellent, did a good job cleaning up after them. Would not hesitate to use Southside windows windows again.
